In every one of us, we have healing powers that most of us are not aware of. We all know that our brain runs our bodies, right?

Since this is a fact of science, we must also acknowledge that for every function of our body to work at its maximum level, the messages need to get from our brain to every cell, tissue, and organ at a 100 per cent quality via our nervous system.

Within our nervous system there is an intelligence which is most commonly referred to in health science as an innate intelligence.
When this intelligence gets through to our bodies we are capable of functioning at our optimal levels.

Our ability to digest food is optimal, our ability for our lungs to work is optimal, our ability for our immune system to function is optimal, etc. 
To show you the impact of what is really happening inside your body every day of your life think of this:

1. Your kidney contains two million functional units that filter your blood.
2. Your heart beats 100,000 times a day.
3. Your stomach produces about 860 quarts of digestive juice per year.
4. Your lungs contain a half billion tiny air sacs.
   
   

2. Your brain receives signals from 130 million light receptors, 100,000 hearing receptors, 3,000 taste buds, 30,000 heat spots, 250,000 cold spots, and 500,000 touch spots. 
This is assuming there is full communication between your brain and body.

If nerves become blocked it now becomes easy to realise that many important functions within our bodies will become strained and begin to dysfunction.

Sometimes this will produce symptoms immediately and sometimes it may take months to years of dysfunction before symptoms appear.

Science has now shown that misalignments in a spine (subluxations) block off this intelligence and hinder the crucial functions needed for optimal health.
There is now an abundance of research studies showing that when we remove spinal subluxations, nerve supply is restored to numerous areas of our body and health is restored. Pain that we may suffer from is removed, muscles work more effectively, we breathe easier, we digest better, and we fight off disease more effectively.
